Workaway reviews, feedback and ratings - page 3

Peg is the most authentic person ever I have met, although still Human. She gives as much as she receives and more It's a pleasure to share any time with this woman.Its very easy to become friends. And it's such a healing place all thanks to Peg .

Louise spent a week here, and I'm truly delighted to have had the opportunity to host and work with her. She's a truly lovely, hardworking young woman who loves contributing to all the efforts I've put in here. She handles every task with excellence. It was truly wonderful to have Louise on our farm, and I wish we had more time to spend and work together here. She hopes to host her again. I wish her the best of luck on this long journey. Nuri

My experience with Joan and Alba has been one of the bests. They are so good persons, with a clear comunication and an empathic way of thinkin. I have learn a lot from them as human beings, and worked really well with my hands on the soil. Hope to see them again

Stayed with the family & the pugs for around 1,5 months in the early summer. The house is in a pretty quiet area in the northern Germany and has a large lovely decorated garden for us & the doggies to enjoy. I had the whole upstairs of the house for myself, which is a spacious apartment with it's own bathroom and amenities. I got to enjoy Andreas' restaurant-level dishes every day and improved my German through regular funny conversations. Kirsten has been impressive with managing feeding and healthcare of 14 doggies, garden.. and everything in between and remaining laid-back and humourous while at at. Although everyone is welcome to assist with the doggy care, I did mostly smaller building- and gardening tasks. Nevertheless I contributed with cuddling the doggies (: Thanks again for the lovely spring -summer adventure and waiting forward visiting soon :)

NAO was here for two weeks. She is a proficient gardener and really did wonders in the garden with the weeds and mulching. She was also very good at hauling wheelbarrows of mulch into the garden. She was always very grateful and enjoyed what she was doing. We also went on a couple of outings and she was great company. She was also friendly with All. Nao Is a Japanese speaker learning English, even though she is still learning a lot of words, we did not have too much trouble communicating at all. Mostly it was because she was just so willing to help out in such a joyful way. I thoroughly enjoyed having.NAO visit with us and help us out. I would definitely recommend her to other places and would welcome her back here at any time.

My experience with Christian and Beate was absolutely wonderful. They welcomed me like a member of their own family and took such good care of me. Beate's cooking was amazing—everything was homemade, mostly vegetarian (which I didn't mind at all), and always delicious. Christian was incredibly kind and taught me many new things. I always had really good conversation with him. Their garden is beautiful, full of fruit trees—some of the fruits I tasted for the first time in my life. When I arrived, they picked me up from the village, and when I left, a family friend kindly drove me all the way to the airport, which I truly appreciated. This was my first Workaway experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better first host. I stayed for almost two weeks and also shared the time with another Workaway couple—we had a great time together. Everything was just perfect, many thanks to Beate and Christian, wishing you all the best!

We hosted Davinia for nearly two months and she was a pleasure to have around. Her infectious enthusiasm, boundless energy and genuine generosity and care for others, were key elements of what made her an integral member of the team. She worked hard and had a great eye for detail, always eager to lend a hand. We would happily welcome her back again and definitely recommend her to other hosts. Muchissimas gracias por todo and for the many great memories we shared. Fatima

Vera was an awesome volunteer to have at the hostel! She kept the beds spotless, had a fantastic sense of humour, and her positive attitude really made her a core part of the team. She was always happy to lend a hand and even took the time to make farewell cards for other volunteers at the end of their stay. We miss having her as part of the team and would welcome her back anytime. Thanks again Vera! Wishing you all the best in everything you do! Fatima

We had a great time hosting Francesco, who volunteered with us for three weeks. He was always eager to lend a hand, responsible, and showed a lot of independence. He fit in well with our team and the other volunteers. Francesco’s passion for personal growth really shone through, and at the end of his stay, he kindly cooked a meal for the whole team. We genuinely appreciated everything he brought to the table and are excited to see where his travels take him next. A big thank you! Fatima

Seamus is a kind host who loves to talk. From the first day I felt welcome on his quiet friendly farm. The place is simple and rustic but has all you need. My week there was a wonderful time and an amazing experience.

Thanks a lot for the kind words Jürgen. My stay, although only 2 weeks, was a great and inspiring experience that has changed the course of the rest of my journey through Galicia. I have met a lot of inspiring people and a vibrant community. The family life in and around the house was fun, sometimes hectic, but warm and welcoming. The jobs on the finca were all about just keeping the place running and maintaining the land and the garden. Jürgen was always appreciative of the work done and left enough room for input and suggestions. Everyone did their part and keeping everything running together quickly created a shared feeling of belonging. Thanks for the meaningful experience and I will definitely be back sometime to take a seat at the table to play cards. All the best to the family and hopefully till sometime soon.

I had my first workaway with Kristine and couldn't have imagined a better host. I received a very friendly welcome from her and her family and felt immediately at home. I lived in a small but lovely hut all to myself, which was equipped with everything I needed. The work was mainly haymaking, but there were also other tasks from time to time, such as feeding the lambs or assembling furniture. We worked 4-5 hours a day, but if you need a day off to explore the surrounding area, that's always possible. Kristine is very accommodating and flexible in terms of time. The work can certainly be harder at times than at some other workaways, especially if you work all day in the rain, but the always cheerful atmosphere quickly makes up for this. You can also learn a lot in the process! Every day there were three delicious meals (even vegetarians like me were looked after very well) and in the evenings the family likes to sit together for a few drinks, good conversation and lots of games. All informal, of course. Thank you very much for letting me be part of the family and I look forward to coming back!

La experiencia fue muy buena, ojalá que todos los voluntarios sean asi

I was lucky to stay with Sherylin and Sam for 10 days. They are very welcoming and attentive to the people they welcome. Their two children are also adorable. The missions they gave me were varied (indoor and outdoor) and not very demanding, which allowed me to visit several tourist sites in Ireland. They always make sure that we lack nothing and arranged to drive me to Mallow to catch the train. It was a wonderful first experience with Workaway for me, so thank you for everything!

Merlyn spent 2 weeks with us. She is open minded and ready to give an hand for every kind of DIT work. She very sociable, it was a pleasure to have her here in the house We wish her all the best for the rest of his journey

I spent at Dean's place roughly a month and it was such an amazing and unforgettable experience for me, sharing many humorous moments with Dean! From the first moment there I felt warmly welcome... Dean is a special person. He's a kind, tidy, generous and warm-hearted gentleman, who has a lot to share and who's such a fun to be with! He told me about his adventurous life and we had so much fun together... We laughed a lot, which was - as I learnt from Dean - the best medicine for everything! Dean is a rebel in his soul, but at the same time he has a deep respect for others. He was always up for a chat, but with respect for my "solitude time". Dean taught me some English slang expressions, which I found very useful and funny. He even started to teach me some Spanish, and I also learnt a lot about Spain and Spanish mentality from him. Even though Dean is not Spanish, I had a real Spanish immersion here! As for the place is concerned, it's very well located in the town of Vera, within a walking distance to the town centre, and not far from the beach in Vera playa (there's a good bus connection with buses taking you to the beach in less than half an hour). The work part was pretty easy; I helped Dean to clean his apartments (which was only once or twice a week) and I cooked a meal for him every day, which wasn't difficult at all either, as Dean gave me the freedom to cook whatever I wanted and he enjoyd trying new dishes from my country. So I had plenty of time for myself, for my morning walk into the town and park and enough time to explore the local area. I came to Dean to experience real Spain, and he wanted me to enjoy my stay as much as possible and make it feel like a holiday, which was just how it felt! I was also impressed by Dean's positivity, that he was sparkling with all the time. Despite his difficult periods in life he didn't give up, didn't lose his curiosity to discover more in life and is still keen on new adventures... I'm grateful to Dean for this wonderful experience, which changed my outlook on certain things in life... He made my dreamt-of Spanish experience possible. I also thank Andy for being my support from the very beginning. If there's a possibility, I'd love to come back and see Dean and his friends again! So, I can just say: If you want to enjoy real Spain, learn how to feel more "Spanish", have a relaxed workload, get a new perspective of life, practise your English and last but not least have a lot of fun, then Dean's place is definitely the right place!

It was a great experience, I was able to do lots of different things and the restaurant team was very cool. Thank you for these great experiences and these good meals.

AnnaLuka was THE dream volunteer, family member and community blessing;) Staying with Anna Luka was just awesome. She's avery respectful person, mindful of the new environment and home she finds, calm, but confident to communicate clearly, ask questions and contribute with her ideas and thoughts. Anna Luka is self-driven and transformed our place in no time. She doesn't fear new tasks, brings a load of own creativity and adjusts to new skills with joy and curiosity. AnnaLuka quickly became not just a friend but a family member of our home and the entire community. You're always welcome home, there is a place for you<3

Abi is very courteous and friendly. She learned aspects of working with fibre very quickly and applied her skills creatively. She fit into the family very easily and prepared some lovely dishes.
